OPPO F1s Metallic Gray Limited Edition, Launched in the Philippines

Last night - November 8, 2016 - at SM Mall of Asia, before introducing Alden Richards as their latest celebrity Selfie Expert, OPPO Philippines officially announced the new Limited Edition Metallic Gray version of their best-selling OPPO F1s Android smartphone.

This one has the exact same features and technical specifications of the OPPO F1s Gold and Rose Gold variants that were released in the country just last August 2016.

Nonetheless, this fresh edition is an attractive option for consumers who prefer a more subdued look that's provided by this specific product hue.

For those who are seeing this handset model for the first time, OPPO F1s is the Chinese handset maker's most successful model so far in our country, making the brand the second most prolific smartphone vendor in the Philippines as of Q3 2016 according to GFK.

Looks-wise, OPPO F1s is frankly reminiscent of the Apple iPhone 6s as it has a real metal back place, a sole home button in front below the display, and a square-with-rounded corners footprint.

Inside, this handset runs its ColorOS3.0-flavored Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system with a 64-Bit Octa-Core MediaTek MT6750 processor that features eight ARM Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz and a Mali T860MP2 GPU for a relatively smooth gaming experience.

The chipset is complemented by 3GB of RAM delivering near-stutter-free multi-tasking performance as well as a fairly sizable 32GB of internal storage that can be quickly expanded using the dedicated microSD card slot.

Given the tremendous success of the Gold and Rose Gold versions of OPPO F1s, you might be wondering why the company felt compelled to release an additional color of this handset. Well, I think the company is merely striking the iron while it's hot and jumping on the popularity of this phone model to sell even more devices as we approach the peak of the Yuletide Season this year.

Limited Edition OPPO F1s Metallic Gray is now available at all OPPO Concept Stores and authorized retail outlets nationwide. You can get it for Php 12,990, which is just the same as the current price of the earlier color variants of the handset.
